Living Planet Report in Uganda Gives Stakeholders Sleepless Nights
WWF in Uganda launched the Living Planet Report 2024, a crucial document that highlights the state of the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems. The event brought together key stakeholders from the Government, media, Embassies and donor Agencies, Private sector among others.
“This year’s edition reveals that the Fresh water Ecosystems has suffered the greatest decline of 85% followed by terrestrial and marine species at 69% and 56% respectively”, he reported.
Ivan Tumuhimbise, the WWF Uganda Country Director emphasized the necessity for collaboration to effectively address the factors contributing to environment destruction and degradation. He added that by doing this, it is easy to reverse the prevailing trends and secure a sustainable and habitable planet for future generations.
The Executive Director of Uganda Wildlife Authority Sam Mwanda while at the event stated that individuals have turned to damaging habitats just to make money forgetting that we all depend on the environment for our health and wellbeing.
“We are looking for food, materials for our industries, we are looking to make money. But in so doing, we have forgotten that we all depend on the environment. We get water from there, we get our medicine from there”, he explained adding that if we fail to tackle the environment and wildlife challenges we face, humanity could face extinction in the not-so-distant future.
Dr Maggie Kigozi, the Keynote Speaker of the day noted that the approach that focusses on mobilizing resources and community empowerment will help avert the loss or extinction of the rare species.
“I had sleepless nights when I read the report because its findings are scaring, to reverse our current trajectory of nature and environment degradation, we need our government and the private sector to make credible commitments and plans to achieve the nature recovery goals”, she said.
